Just because James Randi is a "celebrity" and goes around issuing "challenges" like a schoolboy, making a lot of grumpy noises about things he doesn't understand, has no interest in learning about, and with very little respect for those who do -does not make him the be-all and end-all.
As far as I see him, he's just a Celebrity. End of.

I like Randi and his mob. Now when i kill people with my mind, i have plausible deniability. When he's gone, who will be there to cover my butt - because of course 'Killing through the mind is impossible'

There's nothing more detrimental, than building up a resistance toward something you don't want.

So this man is going out his way to try to prove psychics wrong and in consequence psychics now feel anger with him and wants to kick his butt?

Two wrongs do not make a right, one of you have to grow up and love the other person and leave the situation as is.

As my someone dear to me used to say:

"You can't fight fire with fire, put it out with water".

You can't fight hate and anger with hate and anger, put it out with love.

I send everyone my love and blessings! Peace!

Scientists put psychic's paranormal claims to the test by Chris French.

I found this article randomly today. It's a description of the preliminary test undertaken by a psychic reader in the JREF challenge. The author of the article is one of the people involved in the JREF testing process and also head of the Anomalous Psychology Research Unit. It addresses some of the concerns that the testing process is rigged. I think it's written really well and worth reading if you think the challenge is fake.
It seemed balanced to me (despite the editor taking a sarcastic snipe at the challengee in the editorial at the end -nothing says skeptic like passive aggression eh? ).

Some would consider this bad karma , and unless some one is a threat ,unnessaty. My idea was to make him do some thing silly. To Arpee , 2 wrongs do not make a rite, but he has asked for proof, why not show him on a presonal leval ? to Lesta , what makes my day is an image of James Randi , babbling incorrently , and his people asking them selves , what the hell is wrong with him . desert rat

Good thing i don't believe in karma then.

If you read the post again, you'll notice the rolly eyes ( ) which would represent a joke.

That was an excellent article. Shame she didn't do as well as she hoped. I like Chris French though - he's quite fair which i like.
